Researchers report broadband tip-enhanced nonlinear optical response in a plasmonic nanocavity
Squeezing light beyond the diffraction limit and controlling the optical processes caused by nano-confined light are central issues of nanophotonics. In particular, localized and enhanced light at the plasmonic nanogaps in scanning probe microscopes.....»»
Controlling the electro-optic response of a perovskite coupled to a phonon-resonant cavity
Electron-phonon scattering is often the primary mechanism limiting electron mobility in semiconductors. Thus, changing phonon properties can provide a way to control conductivity. Recently, there has been a growing interest in exploring the use of th.....»»
